USB Keyboard Vacuum

Keep Your Keyboard Clean With the Keyboard Vacuum

Can't stand a dirty keyboard? Neither can I, but getting in between the keys to clean (especially on my laptop) can be challenging at times. Not eating at my desk is not an option (plus, a little dust here and there is pretty hard to avoid), so of course I love this gadget! It's a USB-powered keyboard vacuum ($5).

It plugs into the USB port on your computer and comes with two attachments: a brush and a flexible rubber tip to get in between keys. It's a great stocking stuffer for your favorite workaholic or anyone who appreciates a clean keyboard.

I have one of these and it is useless. Don't spend good money on something that has practically no suction and what can only be classified as a piece of a fabric as the dust filter.
I'm thinking about tinkering with mine to see if I can increase the suction. A person is better off using the crevice tool on their regular vacuum to clean out their keyboards.

Cute idea. I don't know if I am in the minority or what, but I have taken the hose of my vacuum and used it to clean my keyboard. Nothing bad happened...no keys got sucked out or anything, so I figure "why not?" Maybe I should stop doing that?
